An ok place to learn the staffing business, and I'm glad I don't work there any more. - Recruiting Manager Robert Half Employee Review

Pros

Every market and every office is different at Half and a lot of it's really driven by the people. You might get lucky and work with a solid team that has your back or work wiht a bunch of sleeze ball Shezads that will always have their hand in your pocket...it's a crap shoot. It's a metrics driven, sink or swim environment, but it can be very lucrative if you are successful. Plus, if you are successful they typically give you a lot of freedom and leave you alone to make money.

Cons

Comp plans are always changing, never for the good of the employee. They don't pay for parking anymore and on the temp side when you work "desk" expect to be there all week from 7am - 6:30pm and don't think about stepping away for lunch that week.

Pros

I had a great experience working with Robert Half. The team made the process of working with the client seamless and was always responsive, professional, and supportive throughout the assignment. The client was also great to work with, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would be happy to work with Robert Half again on another client engagement.

Cons

no cons everything was great!

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
